of 2023 draft. same pick lol

 

[tugga]

Has to play ones and soon.
Could be the steal of the draft.
I know the power and crows fans rated him highly and wanted him.

 

[Noidnadroj]

This kid could be something really special. First VFL game against premiers and he has 20 and a goal at half time. On the back of being best in VFL pre season matches. Get excited everyone…. that’s not normal for nearly any draftee, let alone pick-40. Great explosive speed, a great kick and tough as nails.

We desperately needed to pluck a diamond in the rough … I’m telling you, we’ve got a future star right here.

Great to see someone just drafted come in & dominate. Looking forward to seeing him in the seniors soon.

Considering we traded our pick down 2 times and still managed to pick him at pick #40 was great business

 

[tunksy]

Promising. Let’s hope continues that form

 

[wegetpumped]

He and Sonsie are the future of our midfield. Play them together as much as possible.

Sonsie is just another ball gatherer who does nothing with it. Kane on the other hand great find for a change.

 

[TigerImposter]

What a cracking first vfl game from the kid. Has shown great signs in all the practice matches and delivered in spades yesterday. A pity he’s not playing today as he looks ready made for the big time.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Should of been playing today, ridiculous that we didn't replace Hopper with another midfielder

Mykelti can have a run in there for us!

 

[Muddiemoose]

Early days but feel like we have found 1

 

[Roachy8]

Watched him closely at stoppages, especially in the first half.
Doesn’t look to be doing much different from anyone else but just finds the ball.

That’s genuine football nous, and distributes it efficiently too.

Very excited!

 

[SouthernStripes]

30 possessions and best on ground in his first outing against a decent opposition side is a damn good start for a first year player. How exciting

There’s no doubting his ability and hopefully Yze slots him Vs the Swans next week.
Kudos to Morro too who flies under the radar developing these kids.

 

[Growapair]

I am excited ... though I feel that a month of leather poisoning in the VFL might be better for his success at AFL level ... do we have any games against the stand alone teams coming up after Sydney to see how he goes against the bigger bodies?

Yep ... Werribee Tigers in Round 3 ... if he is still having this impact over the next two weeks he should be promoted then for mine ... first game against West Coast would be perfect and then he would be home in Adelaide to take on Saints in Gather Round.

Worked out well.
Confidence building yesterday.
Make that step into afl abit easier

 

[RockJobster0312]

My biggest concerns for him coming out of the draft was his disposal by foot and inability to get the ball outside of the contest.

Through the preseason he’s put those concerns to rest.

Now the question is can he run out four quarters? Hard to know only playing a half v Carlton and the conditions (and being tagged) v Gold Coast.

Pretty sure Jack Ross will get a run in the midfield

love your positivity and macca

love your positivity knocker’s does?

Not my fault I saw the game with open eyes time for some of you to get out of the one eye. Time will tell but I ain't one to say I told you so even if I did lol

 

[captain blood 17]

One sparrow does not a summer make. Unreal start and heaps to get excited about. Hopefully he backs it up and then we can consider.

 

[juss]

Gotta see what happens today before making selection calls next week and the availability of Hopper.

If Hopper is back I would probably hold him off one more week and another strong VFL game.

you must have seen another game

Totally disagree. His first year showed he was a class distributor off both feet. last year suffered from niggles and not being played. He will surprise many. Just need him in the seniors ahead of other less talented players.
